Author: Marion F. Ham, 1867-1956 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1621 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. From Bethany, the Master
Comes down Mt. Olive’s slope,
And all the world is singing,
A glad new song of hope;
Cry out, O stately cedars,
Along the rugged way!
Ye vineyards, shout hosanna,
To greet this happy day!
2. The King of Love, in triumph
Rides through the city’s gate;
Rejected, scorned—yet Victor,
The Conqueror of hate;
O wave your green palm branches!
Exalt His matchless worth!
This King of Love shall conquer
The nations of the earth.
3. Not of this world His kingdom;
His power is from above;
His realm is of the spirit,
His scepter—Truth and Love;
He calls us to His service,
His banner is unfurled;
With Thee we march, O Master,
To overcome the world. Languages: English Tune Title: DAY OF REST
From Bethany, the Master
